brilliant work! I got used to the IWD2 npc portraits and these (obviously) have the same art style, i admire your dedication!

Oh, and since I know you and Kulyok were discussing it, I personally think Nella is certainly "attractive enough to be romance material" and that the hair is fine, but I'm sure tweaks in that department won't ruin anything.

She looks fairly well done except for the hands.  I mean they are huge, I don't think a PC would hit that man, those are mangling hands not loving hands.  Otherwise the portraits look very good.

Two guys do not a concensus make. :-p Tastes differ, after all.

So let me hereby formally dissent and state the Nella and Teri are just as guilty from the "beautiful people" syndrome as any hollywood movie ever.

And that most definitely is not a complaint.

Sure, it's entirely up to you. It's particularly easy to change the portraits, because you can use any and all BG2 portraits in existence.

I'm going to go with the consensus here and say that I don't find the girl portraits particularly ...fascinating.
They're very (very) well done and I admire the skill behind them, they just don't grab me in any way which makes me interested in the characters.

Lukily I have a vast store of custom portraits so it's not a real problem, but I'm not entirely sure that's keeping in with the spirit of the thing.

In the actual game, you'll only see their faces in "small" portraits, and their in-game "figures" are quite full, so. :)

Okay, I mean this in a purely constructive-criticism kinda way... cause I -do- like the artwork...

And the pics of the -guys- seem fine... the girls here seem to like them, anyway, and that's what counts... :)

But for us guys... well... erm... the two girls seem a bit, well, boyish?  At least in physique?

I say this because if there's going to be romance options available with them, it'd be nice to be attracted to them ;)  And the two female pics... well, they're not -ugly-... they're sorta kinda cute... but, well, nothing my friends are going to be jealous over either, heh.

And note, I'm -not- asking for the chainmail bikini syndrome, lol, I think that's as silly as the next person, and it'd be pretty hard to pull that off in the IWD portrait style anyway.  But there's plenty of ways, I think, to stick to that portrait style and still be somewhat hawt :)

(I will add, Teri's face is very pretty, no need to change anything there :)

New Nella's portrait is fantastic, much better than the old one!
Severn looks like the Bard (from the game Bard's Tale) so I hope it speaks volumes about his character!
And just like Alatariel said - something about Holvir makes him extremely good looking  8)

And overally it's another great piece of work, MrsCake!  :D

I have to say I liked the old Nella portrait much better. This one looks too... sharp, too well defined to match the style of the other portraits and the general pastel IWD style. The face does not really match the portrait anymore.

Plus, I liked the older one quite a lot so I may be biased. ;-)

All in all I still think this is an awesome set of work and the new Holvir is very nice.

Nice portraits!

There is just something about Teri's upper body that looks too long and narrow(also very dark around the waist) and she looks(not that there is anything wrong with that) completely flat chested.  I suppose I imagined her a little more buxom.

Love Holvir's portrait.  Yum! :)

...And damn, you made the paladin look god... Damn. I didn't think it even theoretically possible;p.

I don't like Severn's portrait, however. Firstly because it doesn't appeal to my aesthetical senses (and he is supposed to be a bard, so can't be physically appalling, right?) and secondly because for some unknown reasons he is too similar to Kido in my eyes...

Oh - my - god! I JUST noticed that Holvir's portrait was here, too! And new Nella! Unattentive, lazy, lazy me!

Am writing to MrsCake with thanks right now, and will be integrating the portraits into the mod as soon as - this evening, most likely. :)

I'll just say I like all these portraits and that I do not think Korin looks too human at all. Yes, Teri looks fairly human but her portrait's great anyway (not sure I could pick a favourite between her, Nera and Severn, which is 3 out of 4... oops) so I'd -definitely want to keep it.

All I'd complain about is that Teri's right hand looks... unfinished somehow.

Well, I **really** like your work MrsCake, and I don't think Nella looks like an undead!! :)
Great work, MrsCake, I really like 'em!! :D

I think nella's eyes look too hollow... or too black. she look a bit like undead... *plz dont kill me* but I like the rest of portraits.
